Even though the Minnesota Wild hand Chicago Blackhawks their first loss of the season, Blackhawks have almost been unstoppable.

Will the Canucks seek retribution from Duncan Keith after knocking Daniel Sedin out with a blatant elbow to the head?

In a surprise move coach Alain Vigneault named Roberto Luongo as the starter against the Avalanche coming from another start against the Kings.

They stay disciplined and out of the box. There will be a desire for the Canucks to assert themselves physically early against a hated rival but they can't let that translate into senseless penalties unless they want to take their chances against one of the league's most potent power plays.

They make use of their power plays. Chicago's PK has given up just one goal on 27 times shorthanded this season but Vancouver has a recent history of power play success against them. Last season, five of their 11 total goals in the season series came with the man-advantage. All five power play goals came from different scorers as well.

Luongo stays hot. The Canucks' netminder will be under a big spotlight tonight as he picks up his third consecutive start against a team he has traditionally struggled against, at least in the playoffs. In his three starts this season, he's stopped 80 of 84 shots for a save percentage of .952.

Luongo will get the start, only because of the shutout I think though. I think had Luongo let in a goal or two Schneider would have got the start but if a goalie gets a shutout you have to ride the hot hand.

hopefully we dont spend the whole game trying to take out Keith. If we keep our emotions in check the game is ours to win. Have to come out strong tho. Our poor starts are the death of us. Luuuu gets the start no question. 5 -1 blow out. 2 big hits on keith resulting in 2 fights
